Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.
The plaintiff Monte Timoner died in May 1982, during the pendency of this action. More than two years after his death no personal representative had been appointed. The defendants moved to dismiss the action pursuant to CPLR 1021 for failure to effect a substitution of the personal representative of Monte Timoner's estate within a reasonable time. Special Term granted the motion to the extent of dismissing the cause of action asserted by the deceased plaintiff Monte Timoner. Both plaintiffs purport to appeal from that order. Since there has been no appointment of a personal representative (EPTL 1-2.13) and no substitution (CPLR 1015), this court has no jurisdiction to hear and determine the appeal on behalf of the deceased plaintiff (see, Muth v Benjamin, 109 A.D.2d 736; Paul v. Ascher, 106 A.D.2d 619). Insofar as the plaintiff Ellen Timoner seeks to appeal from the order, Special Term severed her cause of action and continued it. Therefore she is not an aggrieved party (CPLR 5511). Thompson, J.P., Niehoff, Rubin and Eiber, JJ., concur.
